Scores are up on the PAPA site for the penultimate week of the season, and the season champ award is Adam’s yet again.  The high score trophy will also go to Adam for the last time, before it’s repurposed into a new award for the season champ under the new handicapping system that we’re rolling out next season.  Most improved could come down to the last week of the season though, with Julian and Ian both extremely close to each other in the standings. 

We’re taking next Monday off for the PAPA world championships, and there will probably be several TOPL members competing in all divisions.  Leave a comment on the post and let us know if you’re competing so we can track the standings this weekend.  Immediately following that, Adam is competing at the IFPA world championship at the PAPA facility.  Good luck to everyone competing!  Also a reminder that this is the last year we’re taking a break from regular pinball specifically for PAPA.  We left the skip week in this time to get things on track for playoffs at the end of April, and a new season starting May 2, so enjoy the time off, and this should give everyone plenty of time to plan for next year.  The last regular season week will be on April 18 at Andrew’s place, followed by playoffs on April 24th at Pete’s place. 

Thanks to Kim for hosting this week!  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and it’s still not quite a walk off for the season champ total, but it’s also going to be a challenge for anyone to catch Adam at this point.  Ian and Barry are continuing to lead the most improved category. 

Just a reminder that we’re taking next week off for Easter Monday, but that is is going to be the last year we take a break for Easter Monday and PAPA (details are here).  We kept those skip weeks in this season, as well as the 15 weeks of play, because people may have already made plans that depend on these skip weeks, and also because it made the season finish up at the end of April.  This way, we should still be able to get three seasons in a year (14 weeks starting this summer), and they should each fit into a 4 month chunk of calendar. 

We’re back at Luch’s in 2 weeks-see everyone then!

Thanks to Adam for hosting this week, and for getting the scores up and doing the groups after I couldn’t make it last night.  Results are here, and with 3 weeks left, it’s going to be hard to catch Adam for the season points total.  On the most improved front, Ian is holding on to the lead, but Barry, Josh, and Julian are all close behind.

Next Monday we’re at Kim’s-have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Nick for hosting again this week!  Scores are up in the usual place, and  while Adam has pulled a little further ahead in the total standings, we now have 4 players in double digits for most improved, so that is likely to come right down to the wire.  Next Monday we’re at Adam’s place-have a great week, and see everyone there!

Scores for this week are up on the PAPA site, and as we head into the last 5 weeks of the season, Ian has pulled into the lead for most improved, with Barry and Josh both in double digits.  The overall standings haven’t moved much, but it’s still looking competitive for the season standings, and Barry and Jack are catching up to Adam for high scores.  We’re at Nick’s next Monday, so have a great week, and if you’re still looking for more pinball, don’t forget about Walt’s Pinball for Change event this weekend.  Even if you can’t make it, he’s got some great raffle prizes available, with the money going to a great cause, so check out the website, and play some pinball for a good cause. 

Thanks to Scott for opening up his warehouse for us this week, and giving us our third new location this season.  It was great to play some games that aren’t as common in other host locations, and it’ll be good to have another ever-changing lineup to add to the host rotation.  Now that everyone has been there once, it should be easier to find next time too.  Scores for the week are up on the PAPA site.

We’ve also got playoffs booked for April 24 at Pete’s place out in Janetville.  It’s a little further than we’d usually book for a regular league night, but for a weekend it’s much more reasonable, and it’s a chance to play at another new, large location that not everyone has made it to.  It should be a great time-for those that haven’t been to playoffs before, it’s a full day match play tournament, so you’re guaranteed to play at least 20 rounds of pinball if you show up.  Entry is included with league memberships, so if you’ve paid for the season, all you’re on the hook for is the host fee.  If non-members want to enter, they’re welcome too.  Thanks in advance to Pete and Ann for hosting!

Next week we’re back out at my place in Mississauga-have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Luch for hosting this week in the basement that keeps expanding, but somehow still has a pool table in it.  Scores are up on the PAPA site, and the standings are still pretty close.  Adam, Josh, Jack, Steve, and Mike are all between 50 and 56 points, which is a gap that can definitely be made up in the second half of the season, so things are far from decided.  On the most improved side of things, Ian has pulled ahead of Josh with a strong 16% jump. 

Next week we’re at Andrew’s place in Vaughan.  Also, the calendar for the rest of the season is up except for the playoffs, which will be on Apr 24.  We’re just working on a location now, so as soon as we have confirmation, that’ll be on the Yahoo and Facebook calendars.  Have a great week everyone!

Thanks to Adam for hosting us again this week!  The weather meant that turnout was down a little from last week, but still a good number of people to make the drive up to Keswick.  Results are up on the PAPA site, and now that we’re 5 weeks in, the most improved stats are starting to come online.  As it stands now, Josh is looking to be the man to beat, but it’s still early going, so lots can happen in the next 9 weeks of play. 

Next Monday we’re out at Jim’s place-have a great week everyone!
